Windows 7 Blog Launches, Says Little, More To Come In October

Microsoft has launched its Windows 7 blog, but aside from a lengthy introductory post the site has more text concerning the rules of commenting on the site than actual content.

But the blog does at least let us know when to expect more information - Windows' Steven Sinofsky announced that both of October's tech conferences, PDC and WinHEC, would see more of Windows 7 revealed:

"The Professional Developers Conference (PDC) on October 27 and the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) the following week both represent the first venues where we will provide in-depth technical information about Windows 7,"

This blog will provide context over the next 2+ months with regular posts about the behind the scenes development of the release and continue through the release of the product."

So far we know that Windows 7 will be using the same driver model and basic kernel approach as Vista, which gives me brief visions of yet another version of Windows that occasionally loses the ability to load USB drivers, but thankfully I'm not nearly savvy enough to imagine that scenario in any great detail.
